When a residential clothes dryer suddenly stops working and refuses to turn on or tumble entirely, the malfunction is typically caused by a tripped household circuit breaker, a blown thermal fuse, a broken door switch, or a defective start push button switch. Because modern dryers draw high electrical current, a power surge or a short circuit will instantly pop the dual-pole breaker. You can troubleshoot electrical power safely using a digital multimeter. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when resetting the tripped circuit breaker, replacing a blown thermal fuse, securing a faulty door switch, or installing a new start switch restores normal electrical power and allows the dryer motor to spin smoothly.
